Dilapidated Construction: The structure is patched together with rudimentary materials—cinder blocks, wood scraps, and old sheeting.
​Insufficient Roofing: The roofing is made of rusty, salvaged metal and pieces of tarp, offering inadequate shelter from heavy rain and sun. This leads to leaks, dampness, and poor sanitation.
​Vulnerability: The open, unsecure nature of the entrance and the degraded walls make the family vulnerable to weather, pests, and potential safety hazards.
​Unhealthy Conditions: The dark, damp interior, hinted at by the entrance, suggests poor ventilation and potential health risks.
We are fundraising to provide this family with a safe, secure, and dignified shelter. Funds will go directly toward purchasing durable, local materials and securing labor to build a small, weatherproof home that can withstand the local climate and ensure the family's health and safety.
